Hi Larry,

I found a reference to what you mentioned. In WinFrame 1.6 with Service Pack 4a and higher versions a utility is included called FOXPFIX.EXE. It can help but there are no guarantees. Citrix's own suggestion is to limit as much as possible the design area and objects of your VFP forms. Hoping even more this is solved in Tahoe. Remote access is a big issue here and if Tahoe has the same problems I will most likely have to switch to something like VB.

>>Yes and no. You are generally correct in saying it is a bandwidth issue. For example you are obviously going to get a faster response on a LAN using 10 - 100 MBit ethernet as compared to a 28.8 RAS connection. The main issue, in the case of VFP, is that VFP treats the entire screen as one large bitmap. Running an application on a Citrix LAN is no different than on NT or Novell as far as performance is concerned. But the main purpose of Citrix is as a thin client for remote access.This is where VFP fails, IMHO. I am hoping, and would prefer, that M$ gets their act together with Tahoe in respect to the bitmap issue, rather than me paying for more bandwidth than I really need just to accommodate VFP. HTH
